Alumni- en staffs orchestra UGent goes Oriental

This spring, Continuo, the UGent Alumni and Personnel Orchestra, has opted for a musical adventurous course.
With "Unlimited", the orchestra briefly omits European musical traditions and explores the broad musical spectrum beyond. The repertoire includes African-American composer Florence Price, who elegantly interweaves classical music with blues, and Syrian composer Shalam Alhamwy, who echoes images from Aleppo in his music. In addition, the orchestra unites its forces with the Taiwanese soprano Chia-Fen Wu and Iranian soloists Farnoosh Khodadadeh (daf) and Ehsan Yadollahi (tar), all conducted by Kevin Hendrickx.
